Need some veteran knowledge

I've got this 96z28 recently, and i would like to know a few ways to give it a little more horsepower. this is my first real hot rod and I was just wandering what kind of mods to start with.

CAI (Cold Air Intake) and LT headers are a good place to start.

i agree, cat back and intake are usually the first, easiest, and cheapest mod to get you car purring and pick up a couple of hp's

rear gearing change is great to increase torque to rear wheels.

Just stick to the basics. Get more air into the motor (cold air induction). Get more air back out. (long tubes and a good cat back) Maybe even a set of 1.6 roller rockers. These items will make some extra power that you will notice. Good luck!
